Existing labour-related laws 're-packaged', presented as revolutionary reform: Congress on new Labour Codes

A day after the Centre notified the four Labour Codes, pending since 2020, the Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticised that the 29 existing labour-related laws have been 're-packaged' into the four Codes and are being presented as a 'revolutionary' reform. In an X post, Jairam Ramesh questioned that if these Codes can turn basic demands for labour justice like National minimum wage of 400 per day, including MGNREGA; Right to Health Act, with universal health coverage of Rs 25 lakh; Employment Guarantee Act for urban areas, comprehensive social security for all unorganized workersincluding life insurance and accident insurance; commitment to end contract labour systems in core functions of government departments into a 'reality'. Unions growl, India Inc weighs as four Labour Codes kick in The Modi Government must learn from the examples of the Congress Government in Karnataka and the former Government in Rajasthan, which have pioneered labour reforms for the 21st century with their groundbreaking gig worker laws, he said. The Codes were criticised by trade unions over unclear provisions on retrenchment and possible discretionary behaviour during the implementation of the Codes by the Centre or state governments. Notably, the rules raised the ceiling for mandatory government approval for carrying out closures, layoffs or retrenchment. Also, contrary to the existing provision of establishments employing 100 or more workmen needing government nod, the new Code raises the cap to 300 workmen. It also increased working hours in factories from 9 to 12 hours and in shops and establishments from 9 to 10 hours. However, the four Labour Codes include worker-friendly measures like including mandatory appointment letters to workers to ensure formalisation and job security; universal social security coverage, including to gig, platform, contract, and migrant workers, with PF, ESIC, and insurance benefits; statutory minimum wages and timely payment across all sectors; expanded rights and safety for women, including night-shift work and mandatory grievance committees; and free annual health check-ups for workers aged 40 and above.

BJP steps up process to elect new national president by January 2026

NEW DELHI: Following the BJPs sweeping victory in Bihar, which made it the single largest party, preparations have begun for forming the electoral colleges that will choose the partys next national president across all states. With organisational elections completed in 29 states and only major states such as Uttar Pradesh still in progress, the process of electing the new national president has entered a decisive phase. A new party chief is expected to be selected by January 2026. A senior party source indicated that the pace of the process will increase after 14 January, when Kharmas, considered an inauspicious period in the Hindu calendar, comes to an end, giving way to an auspicious phase. All preparations and processes are progressing symmetrically across regions alongside organisational elections in the states, and the new national president is expected to be elected by January 2026, a top BJP functionary said, adding that electoral colleges for the polls are being finalised. While organisational elections in 29 state units have been completed, formalities in Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka are still under way. Meanwhile, three names are circulating within saffron circles as potential contenders to succeed incumbent national president J. P. Nadda, who is currently serving on an extension. Keshav Prasad Maurya, Uttar Pradeshs Deputy Chief Minister, and Union ministers Dharmendra Pradhan, Bhupender Yadav, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan are among the prominent names being discussed, a senior functionary said on Friday. Of these, Maurya, considered close to both the RSS and Amit Shah, and Pradhan, who served as election in-charge during the Bihar campaign, have emerged as the most prominent frontrunners. Maurya has been associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the partys ideological mentor, long before joining the BJP. He is regarded as a prolific politician with deep experience in shaping the partys electoral strategies in Uttar Pradesh and beyond, often delivering favourable results. Similarly, Dharmendra Pradhan, a Union minister in the current Modi cabinet, has established himself as a highly effective BJP leader, contributing significantly to several of the partys electoral victories in recent years, including in Bihar. If Shah crafted the strategy, Pradhan ensured its successful implementation on the ground. Both Pradhan and Shivraj Singh Chouhan could emerge as strong contenders for the post, a senior source observed.

Nitish Rana To Captain Delhi In 2025-26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, No Place For Digvesh Rathi

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Nitish Rana has been named as Delhis captain for the 2025-26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, while wrist-spinner Digvesh Rathi has missed out on selection for the competition slated to begin on November 26. Delhi have been placed in Elite Group D alongside Jharkhand, Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Saurashtra, and Tripura, with all of their matches scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad. The team has won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy only once - in the 201718 season under the captaincy of Pradeep Sangwan. This will be the first time Rana will turn out for Delhi in the ongoing domestic season after moving on from Uttar Pradesh and not featuring in the playing eleven for the first half of the Ranji Trophy, where the side was unable to win any matches. Rana, who will also turn out for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026 following his trade from Rajasthan Royals, hit scores of 134 not out, 45 not out, and 79 not out to help West Delhi Lions win the 2025 Delhi Premier League (DPL) title. Incidentally, during Qualifier 1 of DPL 2025, Rana was in an exchange of words with Rathi, which went viral online. Rathi had been one of the uncapped finds for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2025 picking 14 wickets at an economy rate of 7.59. But it seems that a not so bright DPL 2025 resulted in his omission from Delhis squad picked by the selection committee of Yashpal Singh, K. Bhaskar Pillai and Manu Nayar, with head coach Sarandeep Singh, CAC Chairman Vijay Dahiya and DDCA Secretary Ashok Sharma being present in the meeting. Veteran pacer Ishant Sharmas selection is subject to availability, with sources telling IANS that hes recovering from an injury and was present for rehab at the BCCI CoE facility in Bengaluru. Its the same case with senior fast bowler Navdeep Saini, who is also dealing with an injury issue that limited his participation in the Ranji Trophy. While all-rounder Harshit Rana is also subject to availability, it's more to do with him being in fray for selection in Indias upcoming white-ball games three ODIs and five T20Is - against South Africa. Opener Priyansh Arya and leg-spinner Suyash Sharma will join the Delhi side after India A's campaign in the Rising Asia Cup in Doha ended in a lame semi-final defeat to Bangladesh A. Veteran pacer Ishant Sharmas selection is subject to availability, with sources telling IANS that hes recovering from an injury and was present for rehab at the BCCI CoE facility in Bengaluru.

Starbucks Coffee Company and Tata Starbucks Announce a Farmer Support Partnership (FSP) to Strengthen the Coffee Value Chain from Bean to Cup

Established under a strategic collaboration between Starbucks Coffee Company & Tata Starbucks, the FSP aims to empower 10,000 Indian coffee farmers by 2030  Starbucks will open its 500th coffeehouse in India this week in Delhi NCR — a Starbucks Reserve® location offering a premium and immersive coffee experience    Reaffirming its long-term commitment to India, and its plans to deepen its coffee leadership in the market, Starbucks Coffee Company today announced the establishment of a Farmer Support Partnership (FSP). In collaboration with Tata Starbucks Private Limited, the FSP will connect local agronomists and farmers to global farming best practices through open-source agronomy.    Starbucks Coffee Company and Tata Starbucks re-affirm coffee leadership and announce a Farmer Support Partnership (FSP) to strengthen the coffee value chain from Bean to Cup Strengthening India’s coffee value chain from bean to cup Starbucks Coffee Trading Company, SARL (SCTC), Starbucks global procurement and trading subsidiary, will collaborate closely with Tata Starbucks to empower 10,000 farmers by 2030. The FSP based in Karnataka will combine Tata Starbucks deep local knowledge, India’s coffee-growing heritage, and decades of Starbucks global agronomy expertise. It will support farmers from India’s key coffee growing states including Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala to strengthen connections with Starbucks global network, drive innovation, and share best practices in farming and sustainability to ensure a sustainable future for India coffee. The FSP will set up technical “model farms” in partnership with farmers in India, incorporating global learnings, to embed best practices in coffee agronomy and test sustainable solutions. The FSP in India will serve as a hub for testing new varietals, provide knowledge on innovative farming techniques aligned to Indian practices and conditions, and share insights about other agroforestry initiatives to improve coffee quality, productivity and climate resiliency. The goal is to build upon traditional methods to help farmers improve both the quality of their crops and their profitability. The FSP will work closely with existing centers of excellence within the Starbucks global network. This includes partnering with Farmer Support Centers (FSC) in coffee-growing regions around the world, where agronomists collaborate directly with farmers on research, and learning from existing “model farms” within Starbucks supply chain. This network includes FSCs in the APAC region in North Sumatra, Indonesia and Yunnan, China and Hacienda Alsacia in Costa Rica, Starbucks first company-operated coffee farm and headquarters to the Starbucks Costa Rica Farmer Support Center and Starbucks Global Research and Development team. Through the FSP, Indian farmers will also benefit from Starbucks 2026 global digital training tools, which will offer detailed online modules on agronomy, coffee quality, and C.A.F.E. (Coffee and Farmer Equity) practices to foster ethical sourcing and ultimately enhance productivity and sustainability. It will also educate farmers about Regen-Ag (regenerative agriculture) practices and methods to reduce carbon, water, and waste footprints, and contribute to agroforestry and social development initiatives. The FSP will develop projects across the key Starbucks commitments of unlocking coffee productivity, increasing farm profitability and building climate resiliency over the next 5 years. To build capability and strengthen India’s entire coffee value chain, Tata Starbucks will also donate one million high-yield variety Arabica seedlings to farmers over the next five years. During his visit to India this week, Brian Niccol, chairman and chief executive officer of Starbucks said, “India is one of our fastest-growing markets.

Learning ability in Bengaluru below state average: Only 18% of Class 35 children can read Class 2 text

BENGALURU: Learning ability among children in Bengaluru Urban and Rural is woefully low and below the state average, according to the Child Rights Index (CRI) report released by the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights on Thursday. Bengaluru Urban shows that only 17.6% of children from Class 3 to 5 can read Class 2 textbook. It is 17.3 % for Bengaluru Rural children. Only 44.7% of children in Bengaluru Rural and 49.7% children in Bengaluru Urban can solve simple subtraction problems. This is below the state average of 34%. The report has suggested strengthening the quality of education, infrastructure and learning methods in the poor performing districts. The lockdown during Covid-19 has had an impact on the reading ability and problem-solving ability of children. Four years later, children have not come up to the pre-pandemic level in their learning, said the report. The report is an outcome of the study by S Madheswaran and B P Vani from Institute for Social and Economic Change. They have also used findings from the Annual Status of Education Report 2024. In rural Karnataka, the percentage of children from Class 3 who can read Class 2 level text is 32.4% for boys and 35.6% for girls. Similarly, the report stated the arithmetic ability of the children has also been very poor over the years and across different classes. It is very disappointing to see that in Rural Karnataka, only 35.3% boys and 39.9% girls of Class 5 can solve a simple division problem, the report stated. Lokesh Talikote, a teacher, and president of Recognised and Unaided Private Schools Association, said, This is not limited to government schools, it is the same in private schools too. Most of the teachers who complete BEd lack teaching skills. Last time, when we conducted an interview to hire teachers at a private school, we couldnt filter a skilled candidate who could teach well. On top of this, few teacher training programmes are organised for government school teachers. They must unlearn and learn so that children are made capable of reading, writing and problem solving. He highlighted how the state board textbooks have remained the same for 20 years. The last panel formed to revise textbooks was Baraguru Ramachandrappa Committee. Most of the students have moved to pursuing CBSE and ICSE to access quality education and learn lessons relevant to the world of AI instead of reading the same syllabus in the state board textbooks. Madan Padaki, co-founder, Head Held High Foundation, said, It is necessary to provide incentives to teachers when they spend time in classrooms teaching new methods at schools which are included in the education policies these days. Because they feel that their work hours have increased. This is how you keep them motivated. Besides, parents must pay attention to the learning outcomes of the child as they spend more hours within the family. They are to be seen as an equal actor in the ecosystem of education. You cannot place the responsibility on teachers and schools.

Two UP natives held in Karnataka for leaking Indian Navy vessel secrets, suspected link to Pakistan

UDUPI : The Udupi police on Thursday arrested two individuals from Uttar Pradesh, who were allegedly sharing confidential information pertaining to Indian Navy vessels, to unknown persons in Pakistan. The arrested individuals are Rohit (29) and Santri (37) both of Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh. While Rohit is a contract employee of Udupi Cochin Shipyard in Malpe, Santri worked on contract basis for Cochin Shipyard Limited in Kochi, Kerala. Udupi SP Hariram Shankar told reporters here on Friday that based on a complaint filed by the CEO of Udupi Cochin Shipyard, Malpe, on Thursday Malpe police registered a case under section 152 of the BNS and sections 3 and 5 of the Official Secrets Act, 1923. The police then arrested the accused Rohit and Santri, who are diploma holders. Udupi Cochin Shipyard, in Malpe, is an institution under the Union Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways. This institution has a subcontract with a company named M/S Shushma Marine Private Limited. Rohit and Santri were recruited by this company to work as insulators. Earlier, Rohit worked at Cochin Shipyard Limited, in Kochi where ships related to the Indian Navy are constructed and repaired, SP said. While working in Kerala, Rohit illegally shared, via WhatsApp, confidential details like repair schedule about ships related to the Indian Navy and gained unlawful benefits. Even after coming to Cochin Shipyard Limited at Malpe, he continued to obtain information from his friend in Kochi and again shared it through WhatsApp with an unauthorised person thereby engaging in activities that could endanger the sovereignty, unity, and integrity of India and pose a threat to internal security the SP said. Responding to a query, the SP said that through discussions with other agencies, it is likely that they might have shared the information with Pakistan. It is suspected that the duo have been sharing information for the past 18 months. Currently, Udupi police are handling the case. However, generally, in cases where the national security aspect is involved, national investigation agencies also take it up. The accused have been produced before a court, which has remanded them to judicial custody until December 3. The digital devices used by the accused have been seized, he added. The SP concluded by remarking that the duo received money multiple times and their custody will be sought by the police on Saturday.

Brijesh Patel hits back at Prasad, denies backseat driving as KSCA poll battle heats up

BENGALURU: Im here to guide with my experience; theres no backseat driving. I do not understand the (usage of that) phrase, said former cricketer Brijesh Patel on Friday, hitting back at allegations levelled against him by former cricketer Venkatesh Prasad. Patels Team Brijesh is contesting against Prasads Team Game Changers for the managing committee of Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). The members of KSCA are aware of the work I do. Its not backseat driving. They are also supported in the background by ex-players like Anil Kumble; its normal to be guided. I dont know why they are so rattled by me, said Patel, alluding to Prasads remark of him pulling the strings behind the team of administrators who bear his name. Patel also took exception to Prasads comment that the only constructive work at KSCA had been done in the 2010-2013 period, when Prasad served as vice-president with Kumble in charge. They said that development only happened during 2010-2013. It is untrue. After they left, we won three tournaments under Vinay Kumar. Various developments at M Chinnaswamy stadium were undertaken. On the contrary, in their tenure, they stopped the Karnataka Premier League (KPL), which was a major launchpad for young talent; many spotters from Indian Premier League (IPL) clubs would come to KPL games to scout. All of that stopped. They didnt win a single national tournament in that period, Patel said. Patel also alleged that during the aforementioned period, Prasad attended just 22 out of 51 meetings, and called Prasad untrustworthy for having previously resigned before his term was over. About the cricket infrastructure lying in disrepair, he declined accountability, and attributed the shortcomings to poor construction practices. About M Chinnaswamy stadium, Patel said the state government has asked KSCA to re-evaluate its entries and exits in the aftermath of the stampede in June, following which international games can come back to the stadium.
